Stunning and colourful prayer flags from Tibet, but on display at the Red Panda enclosure at the Highland Wildlife Park in Kingussie, Scotland.
My previous post talked about the pledge people started taking. Here's another shot from a different location where the Save Ganges, Save Earth exercise is going on. Rishikesh-Parmarth Ashram, during evening prayers. Motivating people for planting trees and saving earth. When religious gatherings make people do good , is the day you can say the right path is shown!!
Prayer is when you talk to God;
Meditation is when you listen to God.

these prayer flags hang outside the Hans Berger Haus which is at the end of the Kaisertal in the Kaisergebirge. The Kaisertal is a somewhat unique valley in this day and age, there is no access by road from the main valleys below. There are some 4x4s in the valley, but they were winched up the hillside and will never leave... All goods are brought in by foot, or by a flimsy cable car type contraption..
The Hans Berger Haus is a climbing school and also a great place to stop for a beer in the middle of the mountains!

For Our Daily Challenge topic - ' My Routine.' Before my silent meditation I chant my mala beads. I softly say five chants, 108 times each (once for each bead) The chants are in ancient Pali . 1. for Compassion 2. for purification & protection 3. for grace, removal of fear and anxiety and obstacles 4. for strong, balanced healthy body 5. added for this time of covid virus, a very strong protection and healing. All of these prayers are for all beings everywhere, for the end of suffering. Wiki kitty is usually right beside me or in my lap during this part of the morning - but today she did not like the tripod at went outside.

As a part of the 2010 redevelopment of the Museum of the Order of St John, the Cloister Garden was re-landscaped and planted with medicinal plants and herbs to reflect the work of the Knights Hospitaller and to call to mind the former gardens of the medieval Clerkenwell Priory.
A contemplative green space, an oasis of calm in central London, this garden is full of interest – both horticultural and historical. Highlights of the garden include towering cardoons, beautiful scents, architecture ancient and modern, and fascinating connections to the past.

At the Sergievo Posad Trinity Lavra monastery.
The monastery saw its 700th anniversary in mid-July 2014. While many fair-weather visitors flocked to do the obligatory bow and bottle several gallons of holy water, some attendees appeared to be more regular.
Established by St. Sergius of Radonezh, the monastery forms the core of Sergiev Posad and is most often a Russian tourist's only destination in the town. Of the 8-13 cities and towns in Russia's Golden Circle - the cultural and political capitals of medieval Russia that emerge today as church-laden industrial suburbs - Sergiev Posad is the closest to Moscow.

A delight. This late 18th century prayer book church is painted inside in pastel shades with stencilled wall coverings. It is open every day.
My mom treated me to an amazing prayer flag making workshop up at Idyllwild Arts campus, taught by visiting artist Karen Michele. It was a beautiful July day of creating under the pines...a deer even stopped by for a visit (too bad I missed her)!
The theme was Tibetan inspired with the thought being that the wind will carry the intentions of the writings or imagery on the flags out into the world to benefit all living beings. In Tibetan culture, there are 5 flags, each with its own color/element. The parenthesis are my own wishes/intentions inspired by the element:
BLUE = SPACE (happiness)
WHITE = AIR (silliness)
RED = FIRE (transformation)
GREEN = WATER (compassion/peace)
YELLOW = EARTH (grounded/our roots)
I will be hanging these outside to fulfill their true purpose!
Whole strand about 4 1/2 ft. Panels made with recyled pair of jeans (flag panels) and acrylic, embellished with: embroidery, can lids, glass beads, leaves, material, buttons, wire, scrap metal pieces, post cards, copper wire, metal tags, Sharpie ...

I wish to add 4 to 9 digit numbers.

Buddhist Praying flags come in sets of five colors and every color represents the one elements. Blue symbolizes the sky and space, white symbolizes the air and wind, red symbolizes fire, green symbolizes water, and yellow symbolizes earth.
